The basic idea is that we installed new hardware on the tent in place of the rails that came on the tent.

Fitting roof top tent to pioneer platform.

I will be installing a tepui autana soon and am curious of any additional cross bars or custom metal straps i may need to purchase make for this setup. Some brands of roof top tents will require holes drilled into the pioneer platform. If so how did you attach it to the platform. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Therefore in order to attach a roof top tent like the yakima skyrise hd tent part y07436 on the rhino rack pioneer platform rack with backbone mounting system part jb0892 you would need to drill directly into the tray. Drill through the cross beam on the pioneer platform and fix long bolts with the threaded end pointing up. Due to the reinforced nylon and aluminium materials of the pioneer platform there is no risk of corrosion issues or structural weakening. Then drill the indent.

Remember to regularly check your fitting system and tighten where necessary after long or corrugated drives. Then with the help of a few people carefully lower the rtt on top of the bolts and press down hoping that an indent can be created on the wooden base. Anyone running a rhino rack pioneer platform with a roof top tent attached. Due to the reinforced nylon and aluminium materials of the pioneer platform there is no risk of corrosion issues or structural weakening.

After some initial struggles we identified a mounting solution that allows us to mount our rooftop tent to the top of the pioneer platform. It s very low profile easy to install and requires roughly 20 worth of hardware from home depot.
